The fact that the half brig in question was found without anyone on board is the reason why Mary Celeste is called a ghost ship. The term ghost ship may describe a derelict ship that becomes separated from its crew or a phantom ship that may be a result of mirages or supernatural or unknown effects. The hermaphrodite brig in question was a very real cargo ship that was discovered yawing -- with cargo and possessions intact but without the Mary Celeste 10 of captain with daughter and wife, three officers and four seamen -- between the Azores and Portugal on Monday, December 4, 1872 (according to civilian reckoning, from midnight to midnight) or Tuesday, December 5, 1872 (according to nautical reckoning, from noon to noon).
